Take the quiz

You are most yourself with the work and a little less yourself with the crowd, and you know that a set heard alone on a laptop can still be the best thing you hear all year. In March 2020 the clubs closed nearly everywhere at once, and Club Quarantine, started in Toronto that April, ran nightly on a video call. You are the kind of listener who kept the stream open and actually listened, all the way through.

You tend to choose quality over crowd: the right system, the right DJ and a spot where you can hear properly without having to talk. You are comfortable going alone, and you often prefer big, dark rooms where you can be in a crowd without having to be part of it. People like you are usually the ones who remember the whole set afterwards, not just the moment the lights came up.

Your strength

You hear a set for what it is, without a crowd telling you.

Your blind spot

Without a floor to push back, a set can turn into a monologue, and you may have grown used to that.

Key takeaways

  • You hear a set for what it is, without a crowd telling you.

Rooms to try in Seoul

  • Cakeshop, Itaewon: It kept its name alive online through the closures and was one of the rooms Seoul returned to first, so the reunion happened here.
  • vurt., Hapjeong: A room where nobody talks and nobody films, which is as close to a solitary listen as a club gets.
  • Faust, Itaewon: Big, dark and anonymous, so you can be in a crowd without having to be part of one.

Rooms to try around the world

  • Club Quarantine, Toronto, online: The Toronto video call party that was the only room many people had in 2020.
  • HÖR, Berlin: The tiled room with one camera that became the default stream of the era, and the one people still leave on.
  • Nowadays, New York: A room that broadcast through the closures, then asked people to put their phones away when they came back.
